  org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaObject.wrap(Scriptable, Object, Class<?>) Use `Context.getWrapFactory()` together with calling `WrapFactory.wrap(Context, Scriptable, Object, Class)`

- Deprecated Constructors
  Constructor and Description
  org.mozilla.javascript.Context() this constructor is deprecated because it creates a dependency on a static singleton context factory. Use `ContextFactory.enter()` or `ContextFactory.call(ContextAction)` instead. If you subclass this class, consider using `Context.Context(ContextFactory)` constructor instead in the subclasses' constructors.
  org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError(Scriptable, String, int, int, String) EcmaError error instances should not be constructed explicitly since they are generated by the engine.
  org.mozilla.javascript.JavaScriptException(Object) Use `WrappedException.WrappedException(Throwable)` to report exceptions in Java code.
  org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaPackage(String) NativeJavaPackage is an internal class, do not use it directly.
  org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaPackage(String, ClassLoader) NativeJavaPackage is an internal class, do not use it directly.
